Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee Yes, she did.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee She made many announcements, but also put in place new requirements for a safer sport system in Canada by requiring organizations to provide third‑party access to complainants, providing training to members of their organizations, if necessary, and reporting incidents to Sport Canada as soon as they occur so that Sport Canada is aware of the situation.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee Sport organizations in Canada have long been required to have a policy on safety in sport. It's been required since the 1990s, I think, but after Ms. Duncan came in, we tightened up the requirements. Since that time, we have also implemented a number of initiatives related to safety in sport.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee The requirement for incident disclosure, training and third‑party access was of major importance in the announcement she made during her first year as minister. We then worked to implement these requirements and incorporate them into our contribution agreements. That is now an essential part of what we do with organizations.

Canadian Heritage committee Once the director general is informed of a case, we communicate statistics on the case to officials at higher levels. At this point, that's the program officer, the director and the director general.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee That was probably the case, but not specifically. The information provided to the higher levels includes statistics on the cases so they are aware of what is going on in the world of sport.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee We did the checks to see if the authorities had been informed, if a third party had been made available to the alleged victim, and if Hockey Canada had provided that information. That's what we did at the time.

Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee This is a level of risk we take into consideration in our funding analyses. However, since investigations were ongoing, there was no need at that time to restrict or remove funding.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee At that time, we were waiting for the results of the investigation.
July 26th, 2022Committee meeting
Michel Ruest
Canadian Heritage committee We talk to organizations on a regular basis as part of our collaboration and the funding process we offer them. I'm not aware of any specific follow‑ups done in this regard.
